I'm glad you found your way here. My name is Sheldon Schwartz.
I hope you'll find all the information you need about me and my hand crafted acoustic guitars
so you can make an informed choice on your next six (or seven) stringed acquisition.
I've been building guitars full time since 1992. During that time, I have developed three models:
the Advanced Auditorium, the Pinnacle Fingerstyle Guitar with 6 or 7 strings, and the futuristic Oracle Fingerstyle Guitar.
READ MY RECENT INTERVIEW WITH
I'm always happy to talk guitars
and answer any questions you may have.
The Sugoi Model is a Schwartz SJ, modified to meet Masa Sumide’s specs.
I met Masa in 2007 and got to spend some time with him one on one to discuss his playing needs.
From that meeting, Masa decided that he liked the feel of the longer scale and the drop top arm rest,
but needed a smaller body size, so these features were incorporated into the SJ.
Masa used this guitar to record his latest CD, Believe in Me.
This recording features Masa's brilliant composing,
his virtuoso playing and some intense grooves.
I believe! This is a must have for all fingerstyle fans.
Masa writes ...
"I had my staff upload a ballad of mine on YouTube,
which is on my new CD....
hope you like it.
The PA at the shop is tiny and shitty
but the guitar sounds fantastic!!!"
and here's another video - this time totally acoustic!
